Never again!

David Cameron, leader of the Conservative Party and Leader of the Opposition in the United Kingdom, has said "never again" to powers that are being transferred from the UK to Brussels without a referendum. I read this article from BBC news and I found it very interesting because he recently outlined his new european policy and he said that all future treaties would be put to a public vote. I think this is a great new reform because citizens should be capable of taking decisions from their countries. He also promised a sovereignity bill if the tories win the next election; what he wants to assure is that they'll lock in the supremacy. What Mr. Cameron and his new policies are trying to create is to abandon a pledge to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, this is coming to grow in December 1st.
"I did not promise a referendum come what may, because once the Lisbon Treaty becomes law there is nothing people cand do about it." He then added: "I recognise there are some who, now that we cannot have a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, want a referendum on something else... anything else.
"But I just don't think it's right to concoct some new pretext for a referendum simply to have one for the sake of it."
People has to know why treaties are being processed, what is their goverment working on. Is important to cover any future attempt to take Britain into the European single currency.
What Mr.Cameron is doing is very helpful for citizens, what he is attempting to do is to make a commitement with people.
